This interdisciplinary course welcomes people from all mediums, disciplines and experience levels to join in a hands-on exploration of the materials we use to make/create and the resulting products/art. It focuses on the exploration of material life cycles through hands-on exercises and reflections/discussions on the natural material lifecycles in nature; analyzing the impact of consumerist culture (including on art) and its effect on society; designing methods for a sustainable studio practice; and group discussions/feedback based around three major projects. Each student will analyze the materials central to their work; reflect on the regenerative lessons of nature and then develop a product/art project that reflects regenerative cycles.
This class uses the Zoom platform.
